UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT

Unique ID:NMS-788C89

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Published

Fragment of gold sheet from an unidentified object. The sheet is folded forming a front and back-plate the edges of which are torn, except for the lower edge of the back-plate which appears neatly cut, and the straight folded edge. The front-plate is decorated with a row of stamped dots above a row of repoussé pellets parallel with the folded edge, the lower edge possibly torn along a third row of pellets or dots. Surviving dimensions 12 x 7mm. Weight 0.4g.

Although ancient (over 300 years old) the decoration would be consistent with a Bronze Age, Roman or Early Medieval date, and the object cannot be closely dated.
